UTEC Campus
Grafton Architects + Shell Arquitectos · Lima, Peru · 2015
UTEC’s campus is a monumental concrete teaching structure positioned along a major urban ravine. Grafton Architects and Shell Arquitectos organize classrooms, laboratories and communal areas as stacked platforms behind a heavy infrastructural frame, producing a vertical campus with naturally ventilated circulation. The massive roadside elevation contrasts with more open terraces toward the interior. Its structural clarity and civic scale made the project an important contemporary reference for educational architecture in Latin America.
